Juvenile Crime
LCP vs. AL
Life Course Persistent Offenders is a term introduced by Terrie Moffitt (1993) to speak of “culprits who show a lasting example of introverted behavior and are immune to rehabilitation or treatment” (Korebrits, 2016). Meanwhile, juvenile offenders are “people who have failed most of their school years or who have retired and are no longer to blame for adulthood” (Korebrits, 2016). “Research shows that there are four types of offenders: the AL offender, AL offenders who are currently entering adulthood, the early LCP and the late LCP” (Korebrits, 2016).
LCP: In a way, the sites are young people deeply rooted in the common occurrence of delinquencies and adult crime since childhood. Throughout their existence, these people show signs of distant behavior: beatings and assaults at 4, shoplifting at 10, drug sales at 16, assaults and robbery at 22, abuse and mistreatment of children at 30 years of age. Second juvenile path: They are irritated before adulthood and generally do not feel guilty about celebrating their eighteenth birthday. Their training reports do not show the initial and relentless problems affecting members of the LCP group. In all cases, the authors’ recurrence and the level of cruelty can be as high as that of adolescents with LCP.
Causes of Juvenile Crime
One reason for young people’s misconduct is a school problem. There are several reasons for guardianship that can lead a minor to crime. The truth is one of the main reasons. When a child misses a large number of schools, he or she does not receive scholarships or the opportunity to go to school every day. Until it is a little difficult to learn or for a parent who is not essentially interested in the fact that the child is going to school, it can be a crime (Schepers, 2017). These issues can be addressed and resolved, and the child can continue to live a real life without doing anything. Lack of food, clothing, or a safe place can also lead to crime. Young people drink when they are hungry. In the event that a child is in a situation where his basic needs are not met, there is a high potential for certain types of crimes (Schepers, 2017).
If there is a family life in which drug abuse is prevalent, there is a high risk of domestic crime. Violations can focus on meeting needs that are not their own or can aim to help parents increase their attachment (Schepers, 2017). At the time that drug abuse occurs at home, there are fewer addresses for minors.
Minors can have a significant impact on the choices they make outside their homes. Peer pressure is undeniable, and children often continue before their “partners” feel recognized at a meeting and by the identification behind teenagers’ misbehavior (Schepers, 2017). In increasingly dangerous areas, you can also see children still fearing group action. The children decide to intrigue or intrigue the group. The effects of friends and individual well-being can lead to irregularities in all minors. Obviously, there can be many different elements that can be added to a minor, regardless of the law (Schepers, 2017). As these circumstances may or may not be an important factor in violating the law, the legal framework will carefully consider the whole issue when evaluating a case, including a minor.
Parental Supervision and Juvenile Delinquency
Adolescents who are often neglected by guardians are inconsistent in doing their homework, housework, normal eating, and physical appearance. When those responsible do not pay attention to the adolescents’ individual and social progress, they believe that they have been released and have to make the most important decisions of their lives without anyone (Schepers, 2017). A poor financial situation can also be a variable that contributes to adolescent behavior and encourages juvenile delinquencies. Guardians show their children that they must not associate with a crime by giving them examples. When guardians are unemployed, young people follow the example of their parents, family members, friends, and peers. If none of these positive effects occur, the negative effects of homelessness are likely to occur in young adults (Schepers, 2017). If the behavior is not corrected in the years of development, they can be passed on to young people later, mainly because the manifestation does not appear to be corrupt or incorrect.
